Former Doctor Who boss has admitted that there is a glaring mistake during one of his episodes in Peter Capaldi’s tenure in the TARDIS.

During a fan watch-a-long for the episode Listen – featured in Capaldi’s first series as the Twelfth Doctor – Steven Moffat made the startling admission that he had made a mistake when referencing a past classic episode.

During Listen, the Doctor (Capaldi) is taken on an insular journey following a mysterious monster that has followed him since childhood.

The Doctor’s companion Clara (Jenna Coleman) says at one point that ‘fear makes companions of us all,’ which is itself a call-back to an earlier quote by the First Doctor, played by William Hartnell.
